Children live in a world in which science has tremendous importance. During IpWy)B>Fl3
their lifetimes it will affect them more and more. In time, many of them will work at r zM Fof
jobs that depend heavily on science --- for example, concerning energy sources, :DdBn.

and population growth. As taxpayers they will pay for scientific research and 'yPCZ`5H(
exploration. And, as consumers, they will be bombarded (受到轰击) by advertising, 9Fy\t{ks
much of which is said to be based on science. +Lm3vj_ N
Therefore, it is important that children, the citizens of the future, become

functionally acquainted with science---- with the process and spirit of science, as well RzA2*]%a
as with its facts and principles. Fortunately, science has a natural appeal for < /;Q8;0
youngsters. They can relate it to so many things that they encounter ---- flashlights, 2;r]g T~
tools, echoes, and rainbows. E rop9T1
Besides, science is an excellent medium for teaching far more than content. It ?HrK\f3wWO
can help pupils learn to think logically, to organize and analyse ideas. It can provide f._l105.
practice in communication skills and mathematics. In fact, there is no area of the vk
@%R
curriculum to which science cannot contribute, whether it be geography, history, "?ap gx 6
language arts, music, or art! m#oh?@0}
Above all, good science teaching leads to what might be called a “scientific GWF

attitude.” Those who possess it seek answers through observing, experimenting, and Ts|--,
reasoning, rather than blindly accepting the pronouncements of others. They weigh }.0Bl&\UK
evidence carefully and reach conclusions with caution. While respecting the opinions A <4_DVd@@
of others, they expect honesty, accuracy, and objectivity and are on guard against j?EskT 6
hasty judgments and sweeping generalizations. All children should be developing this 3/X-Cr+d
approach to solving problems, but it cannot be expected to appear automatically with wgCvD
the mere acquisition of information. Continual practice, through guided participation, 6!P`XTTE
is needed. (293 words) MaZM%W8Z
